Further countries where he conquered PARTS of; 1)India 2)Turkmenistan 3)Uzbekistan 4)Tajikistan 5)Kuwait 6)Only controlled Cyprus 7)Also controlled Bulgaria 8)Controlled the small Eastern part of Romania, which is located on the Black Sea.

He also subdued(controlled) 1)Illyria(The Southern Half of Albania) 2)The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia(The southern half which was part of Ancient Macedonia) Of course he did defeat in battle the other main Greek City-States in Greece proper. Ex. Athens, Corinth, Thebes. This allowed him to unite (Under his Control) all of Greece.

So, all in all, he controlled and conquered 21 countries. I hope this helps Lisa.
